Find Ancestors

My Great grandfather was William Anderson b. 1874 Dundee, Scotland- d. 24 Aug 1916 Fife Scotland. Married to Betsy Scott. They married on 5th April 1895, In Dundee, Scotland. I can not however; find any information on his family or hers; be it siblings or parents. I banging my head into brick walls. If anyone thinks they have these people in their tree or may have information on them I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this. I am William and Betsy Anderson's Great Grand daughter and am trying to locate any family past or present [hopefully finding some living relatives]. Thanks in advance for anyone who may have information on these.

Kindest Regards,
Brenda

The tree also confirms Betsy's father with an occupation as Joiner/Carpenter and Betsy as a Jute Weaver.... Looks like Catherine died and Robert remarried;

Dee you are such a Sweet Heart. I have to Go through these becuase my Great Aunt was a Jessie Sidey Anderson and she was my Grandmother's sister [daughter of Betsy Scott and William. I can't tell you what a huge help this has been. I have to dive into this again Monday and sort it through. I appreciate this sooo much! I have Catherine dying at age 31, so that is very possible but I didn't know anymore. :)

Kindest Regards,
Brenda
